AbstractGeorg Schramm was born Feb. 12, 1816 in the market-town of Plech, Bavaria. His father decided to take the family to America, and by 1837 they were sailing from Bremen. Diary entries describe the ocean crossing and the trip to Circleville, Ohio. The family later moved on to Iowa, and in 1852 George was a candidate of the Whig Party for the Iowa State Senate, severing a term of four years.
